is making an effort to support the Student Privacy Protection Act. You may have heard of the controversy that
Bill O'Reily created in condemning a referendum in San Fransisco over trying to prohibit recruitment on school campus. This is an opportune time to push for the passage of H.R. 551 which will automatically "Opt Out" all students instead of the current method. Leave My Child Alone.org has done a really good job of getting this issue to the forefront. I have posted on the effort to expose the pentagon plan before ::
. We need to help support this current effort. Please join me in signing this petition and becoming a citizen co-sponsor of H.R.551. - fc
Student Privacy Protection Act (H.R. 551)
Where children are concerned, it's time to make it a family decision (not a federal mandate) to release our home phone numbers and home addresses to military recruiters.
US Representative Mike Honda's Student Privacy Protection Act does just that. It makes a simple change to No Child Left Behind ensuring schools release private information to military recruiters only if families request it, rather than the other way around.
Please help show Congress that there's broad-based support for family privacy by signing on as a Citizen Co-Sponsor below. U.S. Rep. Mike Honda will use this petition to urge fellow members of Congress to co-sponsor this important legislation.
I support H.R.551, the Student Privacy Protection Act of 2005, which amends section 9528 of No Child Left Behind. H.R. 551 prohibits military recruiters from contacting students unless these minors and their parents specifically "Opt In" and consent to receive such communications.
